This work fine with RedHat 7.3 Version
Here my complete glibc RPM package installation

glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.34.1
glibc-2.3.2-95.30
glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.30
glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.30

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2005-01-26 18:40:25 UTC 
The first bugreport has quite a good summary, so I don't think it is necessary
to repeat it here.
Just use
gcc296 -I /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux7/include -B /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux7/lib/
instead of
gcc or cc to compile and link the application against the old SyBASE library.
Binary compatibility is maintained only for programs and shared libraries,
not for object files and ar libraries of object files.
